if, else if echo statement - php

Question

If the value is 1 the cell bg is green with the # 1 in the cell
If the value is 0 the cell bg is yellow with a 0 in it.
I would like to display "Yes" instead of "1" and "No" instead of "0"
if($row['play'] == 1){
echo "<td bgcolor='green'>" . $row['play'] . "</td>";
}
else if ($row['play'] == 0){
echo "<td bgcolor='yellow'>" . $row['play'] . "</td>";
}
The values come from a checkbox (1) and a hidden field (0) The MySQL field is BOOL.
Is there an easier/better way to achieve this?

Answer 1

You can do this:
if($row['play'] == 1){
echo "<td bgcolor='green'>Yes</td>";
}
else if ($row['play'] == 0){
echo "<td bgcolor='yellow'>No</td>";
}
but I'd say that switch/case thing is more comfortable:
switch( $row['play'] ) {
case 1:
echo "<td bgcolor='green'>Yes</td>";
break;
default:
echo "<td bgcolor='yellow'>No</td>";
break;
}

Answer 2

You can cast it to an int, and then make a condition if it's above zero:
if((int)$row['play'] > 0) {
echo "<td bgcolor='green'>Yes</td>";
}
else {
echo "<td bgcolor='yellow'>No</td>";
}
This way, play could be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ..etc.

Answer 3

something like this will do it -
echo "<td bgcolor='" . $row['play'] == 1 ? "green" : "yellow" . "'> . $row['play'] == 1 ? "No" : "Yes" . "</td>";

Answer 4

You can cut down on an echo statement by doing:
if($row['play'] == 1){
$color = 'green';
$text = 'yes';
}
else
{
$color = 'red';
$text = 'no';
}
// Assign the color and text values based on the input.
echo "<td bgcolor=$color>$data</td>";

Answer 5

$words = array(
0 => "No",
1 => "Yes"
) ;
if($row['play'] == 1){
echo "<td bgcolor='green'>" . $words[(int)$row['play']] . "</td>";
} else if ($row['play'] == 0){
echo "<td bgcolor='yellow'>" . $words[(int)$row['play']] . "</td>";
}
Or even better:
$map = array(
0 => array("word"=>"No", "color"=>"yellow"),
0 => array("word"=>"Yes", "color"=>"green"),
) ;
$current = (int) $row['play'] ;
echo "<td bgcolor='{$map[$current]['color']}'>{$map[$current]['word']}</td>";

Answer 6

Try This
if($row['play'] == 1)
{
echo "<td bgcolor='green'>Yes</td>";
}
else if ($row['play'] == 0)
{
echo "<td bgcolor='yellow'>No</td>";
}
